The crisis was finally contained, unbeknownst to the many guests at the wedding scene.
Hehehehhe!
All this time, the ceremony had already progressed and even got completed too.
Well, it wasn't entirely over yet.
At the moment, Landon was having a significant meal with the guests, while Lucy had long entered the bedroom chambers, waiting for his arrival.
Of course, Landon had prepared a lot of snacks to be snuck into the bridal chambers while she lay in wait.
Lucy said that she wouldn't eat a bite and wanted to uphold the tradition strictly.
But whatever she said went through Landon's left ear and came out the other.
He still placed snacks there for her just in case she changed her mind.
And at this time, Landon was entertaining everyone else in the massive hall.
There was food, drinks and laughter all around them.
Of course, even though Landon joined in the celebrations, he still looked at his watch from time to time.
That's right. He didn't want to keep Lucy waiting for too long.
So he planned to spend at most an hour here receiving everyone's warm congratulatory blessings.
And after that, he would leave the scene and head to his wife.
Of course, just because he was leaving didn't mean that the party would stop.
.
The meal and celebrations were scheduled for the next 4 hours max.
And by then, almost everyone should've long left the palace.
In short, he estimated that after 3 hours, many should be on their way out by then.
After all, tomorrow afternoon, they still had to attend his Majesty's 2nd wedding ceremony.
So they had to go home and sleep.
Typically, the wedding should be at 8 A.M or 9 A.M.
But because of tonight's celebrations, tomorrow's wedding will start at 2 P.m and end at 4 P.M.
Of course, guests were expected to arrive around noon or even 1 P.M.
Without a doubt, during the entire day, the streets would be filled with all sorts of delicacies for people to eat.
And after the wedding at 4 P.M, they would begin the festivities and fun.
From games to other planned activities, all over District D and G, one would experience a lot within these places.
Hey! Who doesn't want a chance to win free items?
Even bobbing for apples was a fun way to spend the day as well.
And, the night parades will also be a thing... Not to talk to the fireworks and open dancing on the squares.
Some places will have open theatre shows, retelling the story of how Lucy and Landon got to this point.
In short, tomorrow night would definitely be a wild one.
And luckily for them, after the wedding celebration, they still had a 2-day holiday period to relax and return to their working state yet again.
.
"Congratulations, brother Landon. Here's to you and sister-in-law."
"Yes. Yes. To you both! May your marriage be blissful like the stars in the sky."
"No way! Isn't that too boring? I say, may your marriage be exactly like mine!" Santa said proudly while raising his cup to give a toast.
All sworn brothers looked at each other for a bit, stood up and inched themselves closer to Landon with warm smiles on their faces.
"All for one..."
"One for all!"
~Cling!
They clicked their goblets together, making some of its content spill out a bit
But they didn't care about that at all.
The bond they shared at this moment was magnetic and could very much make some people envious to have such a strong connection like this.
The gang chuckled, finally taking their seats yet again.
Their seats were all fairly close to one another, as the setting was arranged in a U-shape manner, allowing them to talk to each other effortlessly.
And Micheal, Uther, Beverly, Carmelo, Lucius, Mother Kim, Mother Winnie, Mona (William's mother) and a few others, all glanced at the merry friends and felt very much infected by the scene.
Micheal smiled with playful banter: "What, Bullocks! Do these youngsters think they can outdo us?"
"That is, they don't even out us in their eyes," Lucius added.
[Carmelo]: "I say we show them what we've got."
[Mother Kim]: "I second that."
[Uther]: "Agreed."
[Mona, Beverly, Mother Winnie]: "Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
Then it's decided.
Immediately, they too stood up majestically, with their elegant goblets in their hands.
"All for one... and one for all!"
~Cling!
Landon and his gang looked over, only to find these bunch of old guys looking at them provocatively.
"_"
.
Landon and the rest didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.
Okay? Who here wants to compete with you all?
Isn't this just too childish?
The gang of parents and elders sat and raised their noses as though they had won some competition.
And before they knew it, another group of competitors came onto the scene.
Very swiftly, Penelope and the gang of ladies also stood up proactively.
"ladies! ALL for all... and one for all!"
~Cling!
Hmph!
Now, it was the girls who were provoking the boys.
But if one thought things would end here, then think again!
Up next, the overseers stood as well.
And later on, even those in the ministries, the Zalipnian elders and other government heads in the various Pyno empires also began mimicking the same action proudly.
What. Do you think they would miss this opportunity?
No way!
"All for all... and one for all!"
~Cling!
Many people, whether invited famous musicians or other celebrities, all joined in the fun, hitting their glasses against one another merrily.
~Cling! Cling! Cling!~
"Hahahhahahahah~~"
The hall instantly became even more boisterous as several people laughed and enjoyed the scene.
It was little things like this that reinforced the unity amongst them.
Again, it reminded them of how peaceful they were with one another too.
And you know, the media was always there to take every possible shot from various angles.
Heh. They could already see it now.
[New Catchphrase of the season: All for one, and One for all!]
[His majesty and friends out-bested by the King-Father and Friends!]
[The royal ladies show their vigour, with Queen Penelope loading the toast!]
.
Like so, the reporters on the scene laughed evilly while capturing the scene greedily.
Bahahahhahahaha~
Come on! Show me what you've got.
Smile for the cameras!
